The De Balie center in Amsterdam is organizing a Sharia court session for the public as part of their 'Justice for All' series. The court is supposed to give people insight into the workings of Sharia law.

Sharia courts in the Netherlands are a nightmare for many Dutch. Meanwhile, they're already popping up in the UK and Canada. Is it possible that Sharia would be introduced in the Netherlands? And are Sharia courts really so undesirable or do they deserve a place next to our existing justice system?

On June 8th, De Balie will produce a real Sharia court. You could bring cases before the court. The case would then be settled by authorized Sharia judges.
